Car Key Replacement in Brisbane
Losing your only car key used to mean an expensive tow to the dealership and days without your vehicle. Not anymore. Keymate's mobile automotive locksmiths cut and program replacement keys on-site right across Brisbane — including transponder keys, proximity smart keys and remote fobs — for most makes and models.

How it works
What to expect when you call
Tell us the car
Make, model and year, and whether you have any working key. That tells us the key type, chip and gear we need before we roll — most jobs are confirmed over the phone.
We come to the vehicle
Our automotive van carries key blanks, cutting machines and programming tools, so we work wherever your car is — home, work or stranded in a shopping-centre car park.
Cut and program on-site
We cut the key to your car's code and program the transponder or smart key to your immobiliser, then test that it starts, locks and unlocks reliably before we leave.

Car Key Replacement — what customers say
“Lost the only key to my car in the Westfield car park. They came out, cut and programmed a new one right there and I drove home the same afternoon. Saved me a tow to the dealer and days without the car.”
“Snapped my only key off in the door lock. They cut and coded a brand new one at the roadside and I didn't have to tow it anywhere. Brilliant to deal with.”
“Replaced the lost key for our work ute without towing it anywhere — cut and programmed on-site so the crew wasn't stood down for the day. Exactly what a busy trade needs.”
